We create chemistrythat makes locked-in flavors love bursting out.

Once its packaging has been opened, food is often quick to lose the freshness and aroma that make it so appealing. It’s important that we get the most out of what we have available, as the world wastes about one third of its food. Luckily, chemistry can make a difference.

We have developed a range of packaging products, sealants and light stabilizers to protect food. Apart from offering a longer life span, they seal in freshness. So food is still at its best long after the pack has been opened. When less food goes to waste, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.

MONDAY, APRIL 18LUNCH PLENARY SESSION TO FOLLOW

The George Washington Carver Award for Innovation in Industrial Biotechnology was created to recognize significant contributions by individuals in the field of industrial biotechnology and its application in biological engineering, environmental science, biorefining and biobased products. The award emphasizes the important goal of using biotech innovation to develop sustainable bio-based value-chains. By honoring those who have worked successfully toward this goal in the private sector, government or academia, this award will serve as a lasting memorial to the original vision of George Washington Carver who, over a century ago, pioneered the creation and commercialization of sustainable biobased products and materials and energy derived from renewable agricultural feedstocks.

ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVERGeorge Washington Carver achieved world renown by using agriculture and science to produce everyday products, changing the nature of farm economics and sustainability. From an early age, Carver pursued an interest in plants, eventually earning a graduate degree in botany from Iowa State University. Dr. Louis H. Pammell, the distinguished scientist with whom Carver worked at Iowa State, called him “a brilliant student, the best collector and the best scientific observer I have ever known.”

Carver devoted his career to teaching sustainable farming, which for him included developing new uses of agricultural products that could boost farm profits. To help farmers adopt sustainable practices, Carver and his students developed more than 300 industrial uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other crops that could be grown in rotation with cotton and corn. Carver’s inventions included plastics, glue, soaps, paints, dyes for cloth and leather, medicines and cosmetic ingredients. His work inspired leaders of the chemurgy movement, whose proponents looked for ways to replace petrochemicals with farm-derived products. Leaders of the chemurgy movement such as Charles Kettering and William Jay Hale proposed that anything made from a hydrocarbon could be made from a carbohydrate.

Today, industrial biotechnology companies are following the path laid out by George Washington Carver and the founders of the chemurgy movement, using renewable agricultural resources to manufacture plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and even food ingredients. The science has developed in ways that Carver may never have imagined, but the work remains true to his goal – a sustainable agricultural economy that includes production of useful everyday products.

The Rosalind Franklin Award for Leadership in Industrial Biotechnology

TUESDAY, APRIL 19LUNCH PLENARY SESSION TO FOLLOW

Just as Rosalind Franklin paved the way for women in the biotechnology field, the BIO Rosalind Franklin Award is awarded to a pioneering woman in the industrial biotechnology sector who has made significant contributions to the advancement of the biobased economy and biotech innovation. The Rosalind Franklin Award stands as a lasting memory to the legacy left by Rosalind Franklin, who was instrumental in the discovery and our greater understanding of the molecular structure of DNA, by honoring those women who too have made significant contributions in industrial biotechnology. Through Rosalind Franklin’s use of X-ray diffraction images, the true double helix structure of DNA was discovered. Indeed, it was with the help of Franklin’s images and writings that eventually led Francis Crick and James Watson to release their 1953 model of the structure of DNA. Though often overlooked, Rosalind Franklin’s critical work and discovery in the field has allowed the expansive growth of the biotechnology industry to become what it is today. As said by John Desmond Bernal, a fellow X-ray crystallographer, of Franklin’s crystallographic portraits of DNA, “Her photographs were among the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken.”

With this award BIO hopes to not only honor Rosalind Franklin’s legacy, but honor those women who have also shown exemplary leadership and led the way through previously uncharted territory.

We’ve seen it before. A spark of inspiration becomes an idea. That leads to a discovery. That produces a breakthrough product. That creates a whole industry. And all the innovator needs from us is to get behind it. With R&D funding. With technology transfer. With support from business leaders. That’s the “get it done” spirit that put Iowa in the lead nationwide for renewable energy. First in ethanol production, second for biodiesel and third in renewable energy production. So visit iowaeconomicdevelopment.com. And find out why innovation is so contagious in Iowa.

WHEN WE SEE INNOVATION, WE GET BEHIND IT.
